        I would suspect by voting in a general election after reading the various political parties manifesto's and seeing whether they wanted to join the EU or not...Presumably, like the rest of the general populace who are entitled to vote you would have researched what that entails and noticed that it would have given you the vote for an MEP
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      It's weird how history can pretty much repeat itself, albeit in slightly disguised forms.

                      A couple of weeks ago I bought Series 1 of the Tudors in a charity shop for a couple of quid, and have been watching it in my lodgings on and off since.

                      One thing that struck me was all-too-familiar attitude of the Papacy over Henry VIII's "great matter", his desire to divorce his first wife. Considering the seriousness of the possible outcome, which the Pope must have been aware, of denying the divorce it was a mixture of bone-headed obstinate stupidity and conceit in delaying and denying the King's wishes, although in fairness there was also an element of impotence on account of some other powerful countries pressurising the Pope.

                      It seems likely the EU will make exactly the same mistake in the UK's exit negotiations, and for the same reasons, namely a mixture of arrogance and thrall to a couple of powerful countries.
